Device Servers are created at the time of installation, and display in the Device Server folder in the tree menu.

Device Servers contain the devices that are used by your networks. For devices to be associated with networks, the device servers on which they reside, must be associated to the network.

The Device Server Administration screen is used to configure aspects of each device server in your system. Typically, the Network Configuration Manager application is deployed with a single applications server, and one or more Device Servers setup to monitor your network. Each Device Server has a set of devices associated with it, and all device communication occurs between the Device Server and the device.

The Application Server will never talk to a device directly, communication is done via the assigned Device Server.

There are properties of the Device Server that can be edited. A Device Server's properties are edited in two ways:

Device Server Properties - System Administration

To select the appropriate Device Server Properties at the Global Properties level, go to Device State Options information.
